Table of contents

Turnkey, secure solution for IoT applications needing reliable cloud connectivity and fast time-to-market.

Description

The AIROC IFW56810-00 Wi-Fi 4 Cloud Connectivity Manager (CCM) module is a ready-to-use hardware and firmware solution that contains all the necessary expertise in wireless, networking, cloud, and security. This module is designed to simplify the process of implementing IoT projects and ensure their success. The hardware is built using Infineon's security technology, which includes a pre-provisioned and secure MCU along with the most reliable Wi-Fi technology used in the IoT industry.

This single-band Wi-Fi 4 CCM evaluation kit features a configurable Wi-Fi connectivity module that provides a simple, secure, plug-and-play solution for connecting products to IoT cloud services. This product also integrates Infineon's CIRRENT cloud solutions to make connected products easier to use, more reliable, and more secure. Typical applications include industrial automation, smart building, smart medical / healthcare and smart appliance.

The AIROC Wi-Fi 4 CCM module does not require any programming or software development using an SDK. It comes pre-programmed with tested and secure Infineon firmware, which is signed and verified. The module can be kept up-to-date with future connectivity and security enhancements using over-the-air (OTA) firmware updates. The firmware shortens the time-to-market and eliminates the learning curve associated with IoT projects by providing a configurable, ready-to-use networking and cloud management solution that can be easily integrated into customer systems using a simple command set.

The AIROC IFW56810-00 module with an integrated antenna has all the necessary components to connect a host processor to the cloud. It has been approved for use in the US, Canada, and the EU only.

Note: Infineon is expanding the certifications world-wide. The initial product launch was with the geographies mentioned above. However, the CCM kit can be tested in any country as it is a development system and does not itself need to be certified as a production device.

An external flash must be connected via QSPI, but no additional RF or clocking circuitry is needed. Connecting to a host is simple and can be accomplished using an industry-standard UART, requiring only five host interface signals (UART TXD, UART RXD, EVENT (MSG), WAKE (INT), and RST), as well as power and ground. Infineon's IEEE 802.11n single band 2.4-GHz Wi-Fi technology, widely used in the IoT, is used to achieve Wi-Fi performance, and Bluetooth® LE is also supported for onboarding to Wi-Fi networks.
